PROSPECTS

Virtuous circle for organic specialist stores

If there is a store type that will continue to ignore the meaning of crisis or even slower growth, it is organic shops and superstores which dominates other grocery retailers. Admittedly, the channel could fear competition from the organic offering of modern grocery retailers and internet retailing, or possible saturation due to the growing number of chains.

The revenge of tradition

Unbelievably, food/drink/tobacco specialists will no longer yield ground to supermarkets, hypermarkets and discounters. For decades, the channel has been a victim of the aggressive pricing policies of modern grocery retailers, but is now profiting from French consumers’ rising interest in authentic, naturally healthy and higher-quality products, as well as its focus on service and advice.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Picard remains true to gastronomic form

Picard Surgelés SA leads by a slight margin in a highly fragmented competitive landscape. The leading chain of frozen product centres benefits from its reputation for high quality thanks to its premium and gastronomic private label – rather atypical in Europe.

Biocoop, Naturalia and the like ride the organic wave better than others

Biocoop, Naturalia and La Vie Claire have in common the fact that they are all chains of organic shops and superstores and again posted double-digit value growth in 2017. All have faced increasingly dynamic competitors, such as Les Comptoirs de la Bio, L’Eau Vive, Bio C’Bon and NaturéO, as well as a counterattack from independent outlets joining central purchasing bodies.
